The Austin hip-hop scene, since day one, has been a diverse one. For every backpack lyricists or abstract thinker’s rapper, you’ll find a street-wise, school of hard knocks rapper counterpart. Recently, the homie Dominican Jay posted a video for Nevermind from Austin-based T$0, and it definitely caught my attention in terms of that street vibe. The prolific Eric Dingus provides the production assist for the onslaught of bars, and the always on point team at Grind Life Films dropped a heavy dose of dope aesthetic touches on straightforward performance and candid footage. There’s no need for extra flare or thrills on this one… this is hard hitting product for heads that can deal with the real. You know the drill… likes, comments, shares and support are always welcome to our local creatives.

Over the past 8-12 months or so, one name that seems to consistently pop up among Austin hip-hop artists is The Teeta. I’m not gonna lie, it took me a hot minute to getting around and actually checking out his music, but one thing that never hurts in my book is an endorsement from Grind Life Films. Enter Sayonara, a video I stumbled across while doing my daily due diligence of combing the internet for dopeness. Needless to say, I am impressed upon my initial listen. The sample on this track is used cleverly, the bars are super solid and hold weight while not taking themselves over-seriously, and The Teeta definitely stands out in terms of style. My attention has been gotten… I am curious to find out more.

One of the fun parts about curating a website is discovering things you weren’t aware of, and seeing that Austin has been my playing field for decades, I know there is no lack of creative energy in my sphere. Kryptol Haze was a recent discovery I stumbled upon, and he is further proof of the diversity of Southern hip-hop. Grind Life Films provided a nice, dark atmosphere for Beautiful People (dig the ode of inspiration at the end).

You already know the drill… LNS Crew and Grind Life Films is dope in any combination. This time, they connect on a new track off Tank’s latest project 6 Shots. The visual journey, however, is a collage of moments from the beginnings of their collaborative efforts all the way up to the recently culminated Lz In The Sky tour. The results are dope as always.

Even when folks are gone, it’s good to take a moment and do things in honor of them. Grind Life Films was on hand to catch DJ Aspekt of SubKulture Patriots as he put up a mural for ESBE at Castle Hill. Dig…
